There will always be editing ploys used to create drama, tension, storylines. Anyone who gets involved in reality TV should understand that and if they are not fully aware of what they are signing up to now re: not being in control of how they’re portrayed or how the public may react towards them they really should be, particularly in the wake of the LI suicides and stories about XFactor exploitation.
I just can’t help but feel there is no smoke without fire with some of these things though. I read the
article in the Metro from Franky’s friend and it doesn’t do anything to change my mind that he has the potential to be controlling in a relationship, actually the opposite - the crimes his ex was accused of were the daring to have a night out and switching her phone off, his friend not liking the way they spoke to each other.
I don’t think men can fully understand that a man may behave completely differently towards women than they do towards their friends. Also, the Middle East hardly has progressive views towards the role of women in society! Is it any surprise Franky ended up in Dubai?
